THE RAILROAD ELECTION.

The election of directors for the North
ern Pacific railroad occurred in New
York on the 18th and 10th. Although
we have been informed by dispatches
who the new directors are, there is
mystifying cloud of uncertainty en-.
shrouding the whole transaction that
makes it impossible at this time to
assert positively what has been done at
the annual meeting. Enough has been
learned TO assure us that Henry Willard
is again in control of the Northern
Pacific, which is in itself gratifying news
to this and all other towns along the
road. which are willing to take their
chances of advancing on their resources
and merits, with the natural cooper
alton of railroad, We are salts.
fed that Seattle will stand an equal
show with Tacoma. and that one will
not be "boomed" to the detriment of
the other. To corroborate this assertion
we reproduce the following telegram,
which was received by Major Minor, of
Seattle, in answer to telegrams sent from
there, congratulating Henry Willard on
his return to the Northern Pacific direc.
tOrate:
New York. Sept. LTD Thomas T.
Minor, Seattle:-Sincere thanks for your
dispatches. l voted 265 100 shares out
of total of 754 ,l92 shares, and there.
fore have no hesitation in assuring vou
that all the just demands of Seattle will
be recognized. Have faith, therefore,
and be patient. HENRY WILLARD.
1t becomes evident from the very
meagre information that we have been
able TO obtain, that Mr.. Willard with the
assistance of Colgate Hoyt, representing
the Wisconsin Central, dictated terms to
the Wright party, and allowed them
representation under certain restrictions,
a compromise ticket was the result.
Anderson was dismissed from the posi-
tion of assistant general manager.
Olkes will perhaps be president in
name, and may not accept this honor,
as il is stated in railroad circles that he
can have the presidency of the Milwau-
kee road for the asking. The triumph
of Henry Willard, outside of his desire
to "get even" with those who knitted
him in the days gone by, assures us of
the fact that he also represents party
who, controlling the Baltimore & Ohio,
have also the Wisconsin Central, and
have now secured the Northern Pacific,
giving them grand transcontinental
line in fact from ocean to ocean.
The Northern Pacific is Henry Vii
lard's legitimate offspring. 1t was he
who planned its completion; it was he
who reposel more faith in it than any,
one else, and it is poetic justice that he
should, after being summarily dis NJ
throned, once more assume its control.
Henry Willard has no enemies along the
line of the road. His is the policy of
manager who desires to build up all
portions of the railroads territory for
the benefit of the road and its stock
holders. He will give no heed to the
temptation of private speculation in
town lots that can be enhanced in value
by his acts as president. We are eatis
fled that there Is much to learn vet |
about this unlooked-for result of the
Northern Pacific election, and can but
that the final outcome will
show that our fondest hopes have been
renlized.

It seers that some few members of
the militia company do not appreciate
what duties they have incurred in join
ing, and imagine that thev can attend or
stay away from company drill at their
own sweet will. The officers are getting
tired of this, and say that those who can
come and won't come must be made to
come, even if heroic measures,i. e., army
rules, have to be resorted to to secure
attendance. So those who are dilatory
in this respect may expect to be dis
gracefully marched to duty under the
escort of a corporal's guard, if they don't
do it voluntarily, to say nothing of other
possible penalties which may be inflict-

reckless competition. and the construc-

Our inotlensive little article calling
attention to the merits of Butte as a site
for the Montana mint. seems to have
been received with great ,lisGavor by the
Independent at Helena. Helena should
be above the petty jealousy of smaller
towns. According to its own boasts 1t is
head and shoulders above al other
towns in the territory, and if this be
true, il should pay no attention to the
idle chaf of smaller burgs. We are
also panied to note the fact that the
Independent has called MS "clippies," Il
word that seems to be in constant use at
the capital. But perhaps our esteemed
contemporary thus meant to show that

Willard on Ton.

New SoRK, Sept 15.-The storkholJ.
ers of the Northern Pacific railroad met
tins afternoon and voted for new board
oil directors for the ensuing wear. The
meeting adjourned after the vote until
to morrow, pending the official count.
The following was the only ticket IN the
field, and is undoubtedly elected: Aug
ust Belmont, Frederick Billings, John V.
Brookman. Benz. P. Cheney, Robert
Harris, Br"yton Ives, Thomas F. Oakes,
Charles B. Wright, Henry Willard, f.
Ii. Abbott, CHARLES Colby, Colgate Hoyt
and John B. Trevor.
Many heavy stockholders are present,
prominent among them being Henry
Willard, who voted Oh $50 600 shares of
the stock. The vote cast is believed to
be the largest in the history of the COM
pany. The reports of President Harris
early retirement are confirmed, but it is
said that he will retain his position un-
til the Cascade division and the Stam-
pede pass tunnel is completed, and will
be succeeded ny Vice President Cakes.
The entire vote cast was 125, 600 shares.
The Willard party secured so many re-
vocations of proxies already given, that
it became necessary to adjourn the meet
ing till tomorrow, to enable the inspec-
tors to count the votes and make up the
reports. What the policy of the new
board will be If the Willard idea is carri-
ed out is indicated in letter of his made
public tonight. He declares that the
best plan to secure harmony between
the Northern and Union Pacific lines is
a joint lease Of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation by the two Pacific's, North
ern and Union. 1t is said that this will
be one of the first act of the new board.
1t is thought the present officers will be
re elected, but the retention OF the presi-
dency by Robert Harris will be only for
little while, us it has been promised to
Vice-President Oakes.
LATE ACCOUNT.
NEW York, Sept. 1G,-The only bust
ness transacted at the meeting of the
| Northern Pacific stockholders to-day was
| the announcement of the total vote,
which was 754, 1913 shares. After re.
ceiving this announcement the new
| board of directors met. A resolution was
unanimously passed authorizing the
| president toappoint a committee of three
members to consider the subject of and
adjust the difference existing between
the Northern Pacific on. the one hand
and the Union Pacific and Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation companies on the
other hand, and the president and vice
| president were authorized to at once en-
ter into negutiationt with the executive
officers of the two last named companies
for the same purposes. All the old of
ficers were reelected except Second
Vice-President Anderson, regarding
whom, it is stated, that universal dis
satisfaction was expressed, and who will
be given an opportunity to resign.
1t turned out to-day that Henry Will
ard did not have things all his own way
at the Northern Pacific election. The
vote is not officially announced. But it
is definitely known that Charles b.
Wright, of Philadelphia, pooled at least
$4,000 more shares than the svndicates
headed bv Willard.
